I finally took the whole weekend off so I can work on the yard and do my share of beautifying our neighborhood. As I drive through many streets at Rock Creek Palisades, I admire the hard work of my many neighbors...Many friendly faces to say hello to as well as many great neighbors to be proud of. A few houses away from me, our neighbors just finished ttheir great renovation and I watched as they painted the shutters, layed the ceramics and put the columns up, in less than a week! Wow, they did a great job.
On Saturday morning, as I was digging out the front garden and preparing it for a new look, I remembered the day that we decided to buy our house, over 9 years ago! I remember driving by a few times and enjoying the peaceful feeling that I got..Yes, this is where I want to live with my family. Now nine years later, I have great neighbors on every side, East, West and North...We stand in the front yard and chat at least a few times a week. Our kids, although not the same age, play with each other and enjoy sharing their little stories.
It is all about the neighborhood. It is all about the friendly faces that greet us in the morning and in the afternoon. It is all about being where we are and calling it HOME SWEET HOME................
